Course in Media Economics: Technology, innovation and data

This course is part of the Media Economics Programme, a new programme at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel that is organized by SMIT. The programme combines facts and figures of state of the art scientific research with interesting and sometimes conflicting insights from industry experts.

Technology, innovation and data (course 4)

Course 4 sheds light on the interplay between recent and upcoming technological evolutions and their (possible) influence on the media industry. As the media industry takes time to catch up with technological innovations, more profound insights on phenomena like big data, internet-of-things, virtual reality and blockchain and their underlying technological building blocks are necessary.
